DO NOT WAIT UNTIL DEATH.

Do not keep the alabaster boxes of
your love and tenderness sealed up
until your friends are dead. Fill
their lives with sweetness. Speak
approving, cheering words while their
ears can hear them, and while their
hearts can be thrilled and made hap
pier by them. The kind things you
mean to say, when they are gone,
say before they go. The flowers you
mean to send for their coffin. send to
brighten and sweeten their homes be-
fore they leave them. Ii your friends
have alabaster boxes laid away full
of fragrant perfumes of sympathy
and affection, which they intend to
break over your dead body, wouldn't
you rather they would bring them
out in your weary troubled hours,
and open them that you might be re-
freshed and cheered by them while
you need them? Would you not
rather have a plain coffin without a
flower, a funeral without eulogy,
than life without the sweetness of
love and sympathy? Postmortem
kindness does not cheer the burden
ed spirit. The flowers on the coffin
cast no fragrance backward over the
weary way.

POLITENESS AND TRUTH.

Many persons plead a love of
truth, as an apology for rough man
ners, as if truth was never gentle
and kind, but always harsh, morose
and forbidding. Surely, good man.
ners and a good conscience are not
more inconsistent with each other
than beauty and innocence, which
are strictly akin, and always look
the better tor companionship.
Roughness and honesty, are, indeed,
sometimes found together, in the
same person; but he is poor Judge
OF human nature who takes ill man
ners to be guaranty of probity Of
character, or suspects stranger to
be rascal because he has the man.
ners of a gentleman.
Some persons object to politeness
that It's language is unmeaning and
false but this is easily answered. A
lie is not locked up in phrase but
must exist, if at all, in the mind of
the speaker. In the ordinary compli-
ments of civilized life, there is no in
tentlon to deceive, and consequently
no falsehood. Polite language is
pleasant to the ear and soothing to
the heart, while rough words are
just the reverse, and if not the pro-
duce of Ill temper are very apt to
produce it. The plainest truths, let
it be remembered, can be conveyed
in civil speech, while the most ma
lignant OF falsehoods may find utter
ance, and often does in the language
of the fish market.

GOOD ADVICE.

The following good advice, clipped
from an exchange, is presented to
our readers for their careful consid
Grafton:
Talk up your town. Yes, talk it
up. II it has good churches, good
schools, enterprising merchants, good
newspapers, clean streets, ornament
ed with beautiful trees, talk it up.
Don't grumble if anything and every
thing is not to your idea, especially
if you do nothing to help make the
place. Give encouragement to every
useful and creditable enterprise in
your midst, for as effect follows cause,
so sure will enterprise of merit repay
every citizen. We cannot live to our
selves, and we cannot discourage any
movement in behalf of place with
out infllcting upon ourselves a per-
sonal injury. II you see needed
Improvement, talk it up vigorously
until the whole community is impreg-
mated with the idea; until storm of
public sentiment completes the work.
But if you can't get everything that
is needed, remember that in this re-
spect it is just like thousands of 9TH
er places in the land. Keep on talk
ing, encouraging, but not grumbling,
and by and by you will see the re-
suit Of your talk in universal improve
ment, increased facilities for bust
ness, cultivated society, and broad,
liberal, generous spirit that pervades
and WHITES and makes pleasant and
beautiful every place where it en-
tiers.

BABY LIFE AMONG THE APACHES.
Overland Monthly.

Leaning against wagons and build
ings are dozens of little baskets with
baby Apaches sucking their fists
therein. The baskets are ofthe regu-
lar Indian style, and the poor babies
are strapped and laced into them
tight and snug, nothing showing but
the round chubby tace and two tiny
fists. Some squaws hang their bask-
cts to the saddle-horn, because if
they are left standing on the ground
the dogs 60 round and lick the ba-
bies' faces, much to the little ones
discomfort. One rather frisky pony,
with baby on the horn of his sad
die, wanders from the bunch and is
Immediately surrounded by "A crowd
OF dogs. Their barking starts him to
trot, and with shrek the mother
PUSHES from her place in the line to
catch him. But the pony doesn't
want to be caught, and from trot
turns to run, and away he goes
the basket Tapping on his side. only
making him run the harder. No one
seems sorry for the poor baby, whose
yells are drowned in the general
burst of laughter that goes up. Fin
ally the strap that holds the basket
breaks-down comes poor baby,
thump, to the ground, face down,
and the pony, after running a few
more rods, is caught by boy, while
the distracted mother picks up her
unfortunate infant, and, Immediately
unlacing the deer-skin cover, takes
it out to assure herself it is sound in
body after its rather risky ride and
fall.

Mamie was the little six-year-old
daughter of clergyman who had
taken great deal of pains with her
religious education, and had held be-
fore her the goodness of the Supreme
Being, SO that she should have in
her mine always his kindness and
mercy, as well as power. One morn
ing her mother passing the open door
of the room in which the child was
playing, saw Miss Mamie standing
on chair before the mirror, with
her face to it; scrutinizing her little
phiz with great earnestness, and with
a long sigh she remarked, Il don't
see how God could have given me
such a nose, when he knows how
particular | am"

WHY HE Is ECSTATiC.
From the Elmira N. W Gazette.

From the Elmira n. Y. Gazette.
The fooled lover is ordinarily un-
happy. But Elmira possesses one
who is ecstatic. Like other lovers
he has been given to using ardent
language, and once when engaged in
this industry he remarked that no
change OF time or place nor any dis
guise could cause him to be deceived
as to the identity of his chosen. The
lover is young Water street bust
ness man. Early yesterday morning
the door OF his store opened hesitat-
ingly and a queer figure entered.
1t was that ola woman, long past her
prime, clad in faded, antiquated gar
ments, climaxed by a non-descript
bonnet. Gray hair struggled over
her forehead, blue spectacles obscur-
ed her eyes, and an old brown veil
covered her chin. She advanced
slowly to the counter, behind which
stood John Fitzjohn, and asked, in a
voice cracked enough to be almost
broken, to look at goods. She want
ed to buy dress for her grandchild,
but she seemed uncertain about her
grandchild's complexion and exact
age. Finally, after securing numer-
Gus samples, she took her leave,
gripping them between her fingers
of an unloyely cotton gloves and as
sured the patient merchant that she
would see him again. He opened
the door and guided her feeble steps
to the outer air, inwardly hoping she
would forget her promise. Could he
have seen the old lady, after she had
reached safe place, jump nimbly
up and down and hug her samples
(much as if they were not samples
he would have been as greatly mysti-
fed as he was astonished that even
ing, his blushing betrothed put those
samples into his hand and declared
herself the bogus old lady. The rea-
son she loves him more than ever is,
because he was so kindly polite to a
troublesome and unattractye Gus
toner, who did not know her own
mind apparently, and whose pur-
chases, had they been made, would
have been greatly profitable. And
he is ecstatic for the same reason.

Capt. Rose, of Kissimmee, seems to
have implicit confidence in the sugar
business in Florida. He has started
a 600 acre sugar farm near Kissim-
NEE. He has put $4,000 worth of
machinery for grinding the cane and
sugar making and intends charging
his acreage to 700 acres. The lands
selected for the purpose are some
that were drained by the Okeechobee
Drainage Company. The Captain
says that he now has sugar cane
waist high, where he formerly ran a
steamboat, and that where his resi-
dence now stands was formerly the
finest fishing grounds.

HIS DELICATE LITTLE GIRL.

at amt everybody I'd trust my
little gal to, said old Farmer Skin
ner to the love lorn young granger
who had become enamored with Miss
Sally Skinner, and wished to carry
her from the loving care and shelter
of the home nest. The "little gal,
who was five feet eleven inches tall
in her bare feet Gas she was at that
moment hid her happy, blushing
face on the dear, fond old fathers
shoulder, and wept happy tears as he
said to the deeply moved lover:
"You must take good keer of my
wee birding, Jack. Rickolect that

mustn't ask too much of her. It's

own cordwood and dig his own ia
tiers now. But go, birdie, and be

Angling is gentle pastlme; but
when two fishermen sit on the same
log, and one gets nothing but nib
bles and DEVILS apron strings, while
the other pulls in the fish as fast as
he can drop his line, it is impossible
that there should exist between
these two anglers feeling of entire

Jay Gould's project of establishing
a railroad town in the West reminds
the Philadelphia Record OF the story
OF the summary manner IN which he
wrought vengeance upon communi-
ty that had incurred his displeasure.
When the great strike was on one
year ago on the Missouri Pacific and
other Western lines controlled by
Jay Gould, the town OF Sedalia, Mo-,
was thriving place. 1t was what is
commonly known as a railroad town.
Car shops were located there, and
Sedalia bore about the same relation
to the Gould railroads in Missouri
that Altoona bears to Pennsylvania
railroad in Pennsylvania. During
the strike the storekeepers and ira
ders of the town supported the rail-
road employees and called mass meet
ings in their aid. Travellers who
now pass the place are told that Jay
Gould thought the Sedalia beople
had gone further than the occasion
demanded. He became incensed at
their activity, and it is reported that
when the story of their doings was
laid before him he exclaimed: with
in a year | will turn that town into
churchyard." The strike ended in
failure. Jay Gould ordered the
removal of the car shops and all OF
his railroad property. Within a
month the town of Sedalia began to
show signs of decay. AS the trains
roll by and passengers note the abb
sence of life, train men tell them
that the place is Jay Gould's church
yard. The revenge of the great mil
lionaire is complete.

The heat of a fire is very liable to
put piano out of tune. This is not
due to the expanding and contract
ing of the strings, as generally sup
posed, but to the variations produced
in the sounding boards under the
influence of the increased dryness of
the air, especially in furnace-heated
houses. Sounding boards are made
of spruce, because Of the superior
resonance of that timber, but spruce,
of all woods, are most affected by
changes in temperature.

Cocoanut growers say that each
tree in grove produces one nut a
day, or 1865 in one year. Owing to
the great height of the trees it is i'm
possible to pick the nuts, and they
are allowed to hang till they fall.
The natives gather them to the husk-
ing machines, where the nuts are
stripped of the thick outside shells.
A nut is most delicious just after it
has dropped from the tree.
